Cosmos

Closer To Truth’s exploration of Cosmos seeks to understand the fundamental aspects of reality, the laws of nature that regulate the universe and the kinds of things in the universe. We ask the world’s leading thinkers in cosmology, physics, mathematics and philosophy about the size and structure of the universe, how the universe began, and what will happen in the far future. We examine how science and religion view the universe and question whether they can ever, or should ever, converse with each other.

The questions that shape our journey:

Why is there something rather than nothing? How vast is the cosmos? Are there multiple universes (multiverse)? What is the theory of everything? What are the implications of cosmology? The diverse answers to these—and many more—questions give us insight into the nature of reality and our existence.

The topics below represent how we organize our journey to understand Cosmos. We group our videos by specific questions that we ask our distinguished contributors in cosmology, physics, mathematics and philosophy. Explore each topic below.
